He was one of my favorites when I was younger. The article says his nickname was Baby Bull. I remember him also being called Cha-Cha.

I actually ate with he and Phil Nekro

once.
It was in Rock Hill at the old Charlotte Knights stadium, where Swift Ekrich meats had an event in the suites.

They were sitting at one of the tables eating so I asked if I could join them. They talked to each other and I would occasionally chime in. It was a cool experience.
